I'm six days post-op and I've noticed that the past few days I've been suffering bad insomnia. This is quite the opposite of the first three days after surgery when I could barely keep my eyes open. Now I'm barely sleeping at all. I wake up in the middle of the night and my body is just incredibly restless. Mind you I am tired but my body just doesn't want to sleep. Is this something that is normal? Could it be that I'm going through some type of food withdrawal?

My mind doesn't settle down some times and my doctor allows ambien. Hope you get some rest soon.

Ironically I'm already taking Ambien, which makes this even more baffling to me.

Is your body in ketosis?

Are you taking pain medications? I was taking liquid Lortab and although I slept some I didn't sleep as much as I wanted to. My mind was racing and really about nothing....LOL
